To the uninitiated, the craps table is easily the most intimidating spot on the casino floor.

However, beneath the shouting and flying dice lies one of the most exciting games available.

Understanding the Pass Line Bet

Every beginner should exclusively focus on the Pass Line wager when starting out.

You place this bet before the “come-out roll,” which is the very first roll of a new round.

• The Pass Line has a very low house edge
• It is the most common bet on the table
• Winning on the come-out roll doubles your money

Playing After the Come-Out Roll

If any other number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10) is rolled, that number becomes the “Point.”

If the shooter successfully hits the Point before a 7, your Pass Line bet wins.

Taking Odds Behind the Line

Once a Point is established, you can make an additional wager called “Taking Odds.”

Because it pays true mathematical odds, it is the only bet in the casino without a house advantage.

Don’t let the noise intimidate you; step up to the table and enjoy the thrill of the dice.
